Jacqui’s Soul Energy Portrait & Prayer

/in

Jacqui's Soul Energy PortraitWhen I think back to Jacqui’s Soul Energy Portrait experience in October, what I remember most was the lightheartedness, humour, and playfulness of her team of Divine Helpers.

They had me giggling more than a few times as I channeled her opening guided visualization, did energy work, and consulted them during the painting process.

It was a great reminder that we’re spiritual beings having this human experience for the fun of it.

Here’s what Jacqui had to say about our work together.

Keep reading to the end to share in the prayer I was inspired to write as part of our closing.

In Her Words

1. Why did you want a Soul Energy Portrait Experience?

For the past year, I was struggling with feeling lost and not sure of who I was anymore or what my purpose really was. It was affecting me. I found myself being pulled towards the need to do some work on myself.

I met Dominique in a group that we were both members of and for a long time, I didn’t know what she did besides being an artist. But I found out more when the time was right for me.

Dominique had done a Discovery Journey meditation for me months earlier that I really found helpful on my journey. I then attended her talk on intuition, and because I felt the need to do some work to help me find myself and to connect to the next level and to my Higher Self, I chose to do this Soul Energy work.  The time was right. 

2. How did you feel about working at a distance with me?

I looked forward to waking up every morning to read what you sent and how it related.  I contemplated the guidance and  applied it. Some days, I had more time to put into the exercises and meditation than others, but I’ll be pulling out all the information again over the holidays to go through it from a different perspective.

All of what I did with you was a part of my journey. I got a lot from it and from doing the exercises. I look at my painting now and I can already see so much growth and transformation.

3. What are some of the benefits you received from your Soul Energy Portrait Experience?

I certainly gained more self-awareness and self-love. Confirmation. Validation. It reinforced the path I was on. I’m more confident and believe in myself more.

I’m also accepting that things happen for a reason and people are in my life for a reason – nothing is an accident. This gave me courage to face my fears. I  know everything is going to be OK.

It also helped me trust that I am worthy of the work and time I devote to my overall personal and spiritual growth. I read my prayer almost every day and I feel a much deeper connection to my higher self and divine helpers.

Oh, and it took my love of nature to another level. 

Plus I just love the painting. It symbolizes me transforming and seeing the beauty I see within myself. I feel with it my connection to Source and my Higher Self. The butterfly is very fitting to where I am in my life. We’re always evolving and changing, but sometimes it’s more pronounced and we feel it more.

Share in a Prayer of Transformation

Dear God and Guiding Spirits, Angels of Light and Love
Guide me on my Path to my Highest Good.

Thank you for my many blessings.
I welcome the rainbow sparkles of joy and laughter
As I quench my thirst at our crystal fountain.
May this day be another opportunity to nourish on the flower nectar of my life.

Thank you for reminding me to raise my eyes and heart to the Light
So that I may remember the perfection of my imperfection.
As I unwrap, layer by layer, the gift that I AM.
May your unconditional love serve as a mirror from which I see my Self and the world.

Thank you for helping me let go of what no longer serves me,
So that I may better be the radiant being that I am and have always been at my core.

I embrace both the shadow and the light, knowing that contrast breeds clarity and vision.
May I see through the eyes of love and compassion,
Accepting the textures of my past and celebrating the living waters of my present
To emerge from this pool of limitless possibilities.

I accept your invitation to play,
Ready to dive deep into the pages of my life to explore, edit, and manifest.
I pray for the true understanding from which comes true acceptance and freedom.
I welcome the miracles, magic and flow

I am ready to allow. I am ready to let go. I am ready to trust.
I choose gratitude. I choose peace. I choose fun. I choose happiness.

These are the layers of my vision in which I rejoice and share
Thank you for showing me the way inward, so that I may then shine my Light outward
Deepening my relationships with all that is.

As I love my Self more fully
I open myself to the loving relationships that are waiting to unfold.
Thank you for inspiring and guiding me on this transformational journey.

So be it. Amen.

Is it your turn?

Would you like to work with me in 2017?

Because of the beautifully intensive nature of this process, I only work with one Soul Energy Portrait Experience client at a time and have limited sessions every year. Each takes about 2 weeks, depending on the size of the painting.

Gwen Ann’s Soul Energy Portrait Experience

/in

Gwen Ann Soul Energy Portrait Experience

Co-creating a Soul Energy Portrait doesn’t only take the days or weeks that we work together. It takes a lifetime, or as is sometimes evident, lifetimes.  

Gwen Ann’s Soul Energy Portrait Experience, for example, provided a portal into the Universal Energy Flow that has carried her soul throughout the ages and cultures of her being-ness.

It all started with the Discovery Journey Meditation I channeled for her at the beginning of our beautifully intense experience.

Then, with every layer of the painting, came an opportunity for her to connect the dots that brought her here and now. It also provided her with clues and growth work to release what no longer served her and opened her up to what did.

The process is very different for everyone. Sometimes, it’s a gentle blossoming. Other times, it’s more intense, like it was this time. I trust that each individual’s Team of Divine Helpers provides exactly what the person is ready for and welcomes in their life.

In Her Words

I interviewed Gwen Ann 5 months after we’d finished working  on her Soul Energy Portrait Experience.

You’ve had your painting for a while now. How is it having it in your space?

I absolutely love my painting. I have it in my most comfortable place, in my room, where I do my thinking. I’m looking at it all the time. I’m always seeing something different, feeling something different, getting different messages. It’s never the same.

 

Back then, it was a layering up, one symbol and message at a time. Now that it’s one piece, everything is together, united.

I can’t believe I never had it before. It just feels like it’s always been there.  It’s a part of me. I feel the energy from it and get visualizations from it sometimes.

I feel your energy from it too, which is beautiful because you’re such a lovely person. I love it. It’s uplifting and raises my vibration.

Do you feel the Discovery Journey Meditation that opened our session supported the process?

I still use it. Just like the painting, it’s different every time. I love the feeling of it. You always get a different vibe or message out of it. Whatever it is you’re looking for, watch for it. I say “watch it” because it’s very visual. You were seeing it, but I can see it too.

What are some of the other benefits you got from the process itself? What happened for you during our couple of weeks of working daily together?

At the beginning, I received a healing, It was a release, a purging. I got sick. I remember when the sickness passed, I felt so much lighter than before, which was nice.

Then I found my Twin Flame, which was absolutely amazing! It’s hard to explain how – I can’t put it into words, but our work together and meeting him were definitely associated. He just contacted me out of the blue. It just felt like it was a part of the process.

I also found a new modality that I want to bring into my work as an energy healer. Spirit guided me to go online and look up Reiki or something, and it led to an ancient Egyptian form of Egyptian Reiki called Sekhem. I was totally floored because on the web page, it had some of the symbolism from the painting – the dragonfly and Egyptian ankh symbol. We’ll see where that goes, but it feels so right.

How was the process of working at a distance and via email instead of in person?

I loved it. I thought it was really nice. To think that somebody is… and I could feel, you know – Ah, Dominique is working with me. And I remember waking up really really early one morning, which I never do because I was just getting to sleep and thinking Ah, that’s why I’m awake. She’s at me!  There’s no way the distance was an obstacle.

Who do you think this kind of process is for?

Gwen Ann CroftIt’s for anybody, really. Anybody trying to find their way. If you’re open to finding out who you are, where you came from, or where you’re going. Also if you feel lost because it brings you back to you.

Is It Your Turn?

Each Soul Energy Portrait Experience is completely unique as directed by your team of Divine Helpers.

The more you work with the process at your end, the more benefits you’ll receive in return. It’s a true investment in your Self. 

Here’s are the pieces they all have in common:

    • a Discovery Journey Meditation recording used to open our session,
    • regular Love Note emails with messages from your Guides, symbolism to explore, and homework,
    • photos of the painting in progress,
    • reports on any energy work done (on you at a distance and infused into your painting),
    • an energy-based intuitive painting created specifically for you in your essence,
    • a photo booklet summarizing the process and messages from your guides,
    • and other inspired gifts.

Because of the time and energy involved in co-creating a Soul Energy Portrait, I am only available to do about a dozen a year.

The bigger the painting, the longer we work together. For more information and prices, click the button below.

Take the test: what’s your soul saying?

Testimonial

I first met Dominique when I went to her house to pick up a copy of her Universal Law Mandala calendar last fall. I didn’t know then how important meeting her would be, but I should have known after receiving her wonderful heart to heart hug!

We next met in the spring at a Body, Mind, Spirit Retreat.  I’d signed up for her Group Divine Storytelling Time session. I consider myself a spiritual seeker but had never worked with Divine Helpers before this.

We were told that, if asked, our team of Divine Helpers, along with Dominique’s, would download an intuitive reading, or story really, that would hold meaning for each one of us. Well, with a healthy dose of scepticism, I listened as Dominique described the almost Pixar-like story she saw in her mind’s eye. And it blew me away!

I felt as if she was talking just to me!

I had recently moved to Newfoundland after a series of difficult life changes, including the death of my husband a few years earlier. So I was looking for assurance that I had made the right decision. And I received it.

To my amazement, many objects described in this verbal video related to my life. Many of the scenes pointed to where I was at that time. At the end, I felt absolute peace. But that was short lived!! Why? Because Dominique revealed that we could commission an intuitive reading package just for us as well as a Soul Energy Portrait. I felt my heart start to pound and my face become red – and I knew this experience was for me. I was probably rude as I rushed to sign up at the end of the session, but it just felt so right!

On my birthday, to begin the process, Dominique downloaded a custom Discovery Journey Meditation, co-created with the help of our teams of divine helpers. And so began a most meaningful, joyful 2 weeks of my life.

Each day, as she worked on the painting, I would receive e-mails from her that she called Love Notes. I would reply with the results of my “homework” and to share what came up for me. The synchronicities that occurred during those 2 weeks convinced me that we were indeed joined together in this process.

I won’t go into all the symbolism and meaning that my painting holds or the inspired actions I took because of our process. But when I gaze at it now, I get such a feeling of peace – a confirmation that I am on the right path and that my life is unfolding as it should, here on The Rock, surrounded by ocean.

I am now swimming free, shedding feelings of loss, fear, regret, and an unhealthy over-attachment to the past .

Thank you is too weak a phrase, Dominique, but it’s all I have to offer.

I wish for others that they may receive as valuable a gift as I have if they decide to work with you.

Namaste,
Doreen Reglin  – St. John’s, NL

 

A Transformational Prayer

Dear God and Guiding Spirits, Angels of Light & Love,
Guide me on my Path to my Highest Good.

Help me to swim through life
With my heart wide open
And my gaze aimed high.

Help me to nurture true unconditional love
That I may turn it inward
So it can radiate outward.

May my every step follow the Light
That guides my path,
Shining brighter as I alight upon it.

With gratitude and appreciation,
I honour all that has made me who I am today.

May I continue to be a magnet
Of true abundance
On the garden path before me.

Help me to create a life by design
That flows in tune with my natural rhythm.

May I feel truly liberated, uniting with my past in non-attachment,
so that I may build upon its blessed foundation.

I am ready to let go of what no longer serves
to add depth and richness
to my experience.

Help me to embrace the mystery
As I welcome harmony and simplicity.

I am ready to loosen the bud scales
Around my heart
So that I may fully blossom
And share the gifts of
Self-expression in this world.

As the jewel encrusted walls
of my cavern spread open,
May life unfurl with ease and grace.

Yes. I am ready to dance
Through the depths of my soul,
Where peace reigns.

Yes, I am ready to emerge as my radiant Self.

Let all that I do be a reflection of the Gift I know I AM.

So be it. Aho. Amen.

New Soul Energy Portrait and Prayer

/in ,

Nadine-HBs-Magnific-EssenceToday, one of my Soul Energy Portrait clients wanted to share her recent transformational experience co-created with her team of Divine Helpers.

 

This is the second Nadine I’ve had the pleasure to work with this year (see previous post). Both such beautiful souls!  I can vouch for that because the work I do connects me to their Higher Self, their divine essence and their Higher Councils. That’s how I can help them see themselves through the eyes of their soul no matter where they live in the world.

Although Nadine lives several hours away, I worked with her for more than a week. I sent her daily love notes filled with messages from her Guides, photos of the painting process, symbolic interpretations, and homework.  When guided, I also did energy work on her and her painting, so that it would continue to act as a portal to the Universal Energy Flow.

Keep reading to witness the evolution of her painting and to experience for yourself the prayer that was birthed from her process.  First, here’s Nadine’s testimonial.

“I felt as though I’d been “going through the motions of life” and I’d lost myself somewhat. As a mother, I placed my children’s (and others’) needs above my own. I also work in a helping profession where I see a lot of illness and situations one would wish never existed. A couple years ago, I wore my heart on my sleeve and had to listen to my body’s cues to take some time to look after myself. It’s been a long healing process, but I’ve moved forward, feeling more grounded and connected to my spirituality. 
 
When I walked into my last Body, Mind & Spirit Retreat, I was intrigued by Dominique Hurley’s beautiful artwork. Within minutes, I said to a friend: “I have to have one of her paintings”. I attended one of Dominique’s “Ignite Your Intuition” sessions, and my intuition told me I had to commission a Soul Energy Portrait. I felt having a painting made especially for me in my home would bring me positive energy each time I looked at it. I had faith and trust in Dominique, knowing that I would be happy with the end result.  

I chose “Rebirth” as my theme, feeling a new version of me was being born. Other related themes were: Self love, Acceptance and Forgiveness. I scheduled a couple of hours a day to meditate and focus on the messages I received from Dominique. I even had a couple of days away from my family, when I could really focus on my spirituality and enjoy the process of feeling my Soul Energy.  
 
It was wonderful to begin my day with a “love note” from my Divine Helpers through Dominique. The process started with a beautiful custom channeled Discovery Journey Meditation that I listened to daily. I emailed Dominique to share my experiences and she always emailed me back beautiful notes that helped me shift more into alignment with my Self. Through the week, this back and forth communication flowed effortlessly…. Each day, Dominique would provide me with pictures of my painting in progress as well as links and resources that were wonderful in enabling me to fully benefit from and enjoy this process of loving, understanding and accepting ME.  
 
I felt so connected with my heart and spirit, full of love, and forgave myself and others for any perceived wrongs.  This process was fascinating… 
 
I loved reading about and witnessing the evolution of my Soul Energy portrait.  One day, I was really moved when I read about the energy work that Dominique was called to do, including giving me/ my painting some TLC- cradling and rocking!   

Overall, this was an amazing process, and I love everything about my Soul Energy portrait.  I have it on my bedroom wall so I can admire it each time I lay down. I love how it’s 3D, and I’m the emerging beautiful butterfly. I see something new each time I look at it….. there are so many meaningful loving messages in it.  
 
Dominique also wrote a beautiful prayer that’s perfect for this time in my life… I’m so thankful each time I read it. Through this process, I realize that I need to make time to stay connected with ME and my guiding Spirits. I need to listen to my body and respect its messages. I need to maintain my faith and trust.    
 
Through working with Dominique, I’ve been able to feel a growing appreciation at how connected we are with each other and the earth. I’m enjoying more moments of “just letting go”  and “BEING”.  I’m more in tune with enjoying the day to day process of life and following my intuition. I’m so glad I listened to it when it moved me to invest in myself in this way.”
 
Nadine Harrison-Boyd
Gander, Newfoundland & Labrador

 

I leave you with this prayer.

It was inspired by all that Nadine and I experienced together during this beautifully intensive period of time.

May it serve you as it continues to serve her.

 

May I Spread My Wings And Fly

Dear God and Guiding Spirits
Angels of Light & Love
Thank you for infusing my heart
with the breath of life and divine Spirit.
I open onto You, my Self, and the world around me.

Thank you for your tender love and care
as I emerge more and more into my Self every day.
I have been gently rocked by your unconditional love
and know I can connect to it anytime.

Every cell of my being appreciates your support.
Thank you for this reminder that all I need to do is ask.

Thank you for showing me what no longer serves.
I welcome the release and relief.
I am grateful for the role that it all played until now.
I see and accept it for what it is as it shows itself on its way out.
May it be transmuted by the Universe
Into something that serves the Greater Good.

Thank you helping me see myself
through the eyes of my soul.
I honour the mirrors that present themselves
as I continue my transformational journey.

I ask for your continued love and support
that I may shine as my radiant Self.
I feel my blossoming, I see the openings.
I happily co-create my Path with you.

Please guide me in my days
So I may be open to giving and receiving
In all I am and all that I do.

Bless these wings that I may dance
my True Colours and fly in freedom,
Spreading my unique gifts
along the way.

May I then come to rest every evening
in tranquil slumber.
Hold me in your Love,
that I may refill my cup with
love, peace, joy, health, wealth, and happiness.

So be it, Aho, Amen.

MindShift – the painting

/in
painting "MindShift"

“MindShift” – original sold – click photo for prints.

What we do for others is truly a gift for ourselves and those around us.

That’s how I feel as I gaze upon this painting. It’s slowly come into being over the past 6 months (plus a lifetime).

Layer by layer, it evolved as I did. But before I could finish it, I had to allow the energies of the last few Soul Energy Portraits to bathe my own experience.

Ask any energy worker. When we channel Universal Love & Light, it’s as much a gift to us as it is for the person we’re channeling for.

The energy blesses us on its way through.

That’s not all though.

As I witnessed the radiance of my clients’ Higher Selves, their Magnific-Essence also touched my soul.

This painting brings our communal process to an even Higher level, opening space for all those ready to receive its energy. Are you ready?

MindShift Symbolism

In its essence, “MindShift” is about freeing the mind through a fine balance between insight and innovation.

It’s about realigning with your soul through a change of focus and perception to break through the barriers of illusion. It’s about seeing, knowing, being, and expressing your Truth.

Peacock energy is present to transform lurking poisons into beauty. It assists you to use your experiences for growth. You’re asked to shift your perspective. Challenges can then be accepted as happening for you, not to you.

Dragonfly energy circles around you to help cut through self-created illusion. It allows you to understand your ill-serving beliefs and self-beliefs. It encourages you to let go of your perceived limitations and doubts.  By focusing your attention on pearls of pure potential, it moves you forward to fulfill your birthright.

It’s through this inner work that peace of mind and peace of heart can be achieved.

You can now access your intuition – the full moon that spills over the edges of your physical being to light your Path.

This inner glow emanates from a Celtic design with a triple spiral (triskele). It represents the harmonious union, motion and transformation achieved through

  • life-death-rebirth,
  • spirit-mind-body,
  • mother-father-child,
  • past-present-future,
  • power-intellect-love,
  • and more.

Every dot in this inner sphere is a prayer, a seed, a portal to the Divine – nourishing you with Divine Love & Light as you journey on your path to our Highest Good.

MindShift is an invitation. It’s the birthplace of Acceptance, Self-Love, Love.  

Is there any wonder I’m in Love with this painting?

Your Turn

I now invite you to gaze upon “MindShift” and feel its energy.

What message does it hold for you?

Are you moved to form your own prayer?

Are you inspired to write a letter to your self from from your soul?

I’d love to hear how the work my clients and I have done together has inspired you here today. Free free to comment below.

Nadine’s Soul Energy Portrait

/in ,

Nadine holding her portrait

Nadine felt stuck and knew something had to change. She didn’t want to be held back by old negative beliefs.

That’s when she heard the call to work with me.

Nadine had felt the energy of my paintings in a local shaman’s treatment room and her mother had benefited from one of my Divine Storytelling Time packages.

Her husband, bless him, picked up on the hints and hired me to co-create a Soul Energy Portrait for Nadine’s birthday. What a gift!

We spent over a week via email (and through communication with her Divine Helpers) uncovering the layers of symbolism, releasing blockages, opening up transformational energy channels, receiving messages from Guides, and welcoming a soul shift.

Her process and painting were as unique as all my Co-Creative Soul Energy portrait experiences are.

But I believe that what one person does to raise their vibration helps all others. That’s how we affect the consciousness of the planet.

That’s why I felt inspired to write this prayer here for you today. It’s based on her process and painting. If it serves you, feel free to use it.

 

A Transformational Prayer

Dear God and Guiding Spirits,
Angels of Light and Love,
Guide me on my Path to my Highest Good.

Thank you for helping me stretch and grow.
Like the snake, I am ready to shed my skin.
I release all that no longer serves me
in the spirit of forgiveness, love, and compassion.

Help me feel your eternal support
As I wind my way through life,
Twisting and turning,
With your Light shining on my back.

Thank you for helping me see
That from the depths of my dark pools
Sparkles points of Light –
Every one a scale, prayer, or intention
Brilliant in the night sky.

May your unconditional love
Teach me to love myself more fully.

Thank you also for your peacock medicine
That helps me transform poison into beauty.
May I continue to accept that my challenges have happened for me, not to me.
I hear you when you say that I am perfect in my imperfection.

Help me to let go of the camouflage
And to embrace the mystery
So that my Radiance may ripple in waves of Light
Within my own heart and the heart of the world.

Help me to keep my vision High
And to express my authentic Voice
I have answered your call.
I am here.

May my unique creations continue to emerge and crystallize
Bringing love, peace, joy, health, wealth
and happiness into Being.

In your glow, I am ready to shine.
So be it. Aho. Amen.

“I knew there was something for me here. It was my time for this beautiful process to move me along my path. Your intuitive nature, painting style, and messages were exactly what I needed.

Initially, each day was an amazing process of discovery, for as each new layer was added on the canvas, a new level of subconscious beliefs was brought to the surface to be processed. With continued layers and daily intuitive messages, the truth took shape and my essences came to light.

Now, that the canvas is complete and a beautiful energy painting is hanging in my home, the process is not; it continues. As I look upon my painting, maybe a portion catches my eye and draws me in, and I continue to contemplate as I go about my day. Evolving reflection and growth happen well beyond the end of the “making”. This amazing process with you has been a truly uplifting journey that will continue for some time!”

painting Exaltation of blue woman in radiating Light

“Exaltation” prints available

Sorry for gazing at you so much. I just keep looking at you and saying to myself: “I want more of what she’s got”.

That’s what one of the participants told me after my Ignite Your Intuition workshop at last month’s Body Mind & Spirit retreat.

I was doing what I love with open-minded, open-hearted soul seekers. Not only had I been sharing my life experiences and teaching how to use intuition, I spent 40 minutes channeling a reading for the group and witnessing transformation all around me.

How could I not be radiant?!

It’s the same when I’m painting or channeling in the studio!

If you’re connected to Self and Spirit – you can’t help but light up the room. 

So my first question to you is:

“How can you bring more of what you love into your life? At home? At work? During your free time?”

I was grateful for the mirror.  I was obviously on track.

But as I told her, I don’t look / feel that way nearly often enough.

iridescent painting of woman with arms stretched in the light

“I AM” (24″ x 36″) – acrylics on gallery-wrapped canvas.

Truth be told, when I look at myself in the mirror after a day of working on the administrative or marketing sides of my business, I don’t see what she saw.

There lies the challenge.

Our job is not only to do what we love, but also love all we do.

So my next question to you is:

“How can you connect to your Self and Source while working on the tasks that just need to be done?”

Until I have the resources to hire others who are passionate about doing the parts of my business that I’m not, I need to bring more curiosity and childlike wonder into all parts of my days.

I’m open to advice / musings on this. Please comment below.

P.S.  I created these sister paintings to represent the radiance that comes from connecting to Self and Source day and night – both literally and figuratively. Can you feel the energy coursing through her as she aligns with her soul to vibrate as both a physical and spiritual being?

New Painting & Prayer: “Beyond Illusion”

/in ,
Beyond Illusion-Dominique Hurley

“Beyond Illusion” (24″ x 48″) -SOLD

This is a process piece – a channeling of the energy I needed in my life.

It’s a prayer that took weeks to form in my heart and on canvas.

May this painting help you connect to all that is palpable and normally imperceptible as it activates your intuition, your heart.

I’m so glad I helped birth this baby into being!

Many layers of flowing paint and detail-work have completely disappeared beneath what you see here. Interestingly, so have the pictures I took of them.

That’s OK. The process itself and the Connection that came from it remains.

Even if you can’t see those first layers, their energy is part of what activates this portal into the Universal Energy Flow.

Both this painting and prayer have been co-created for you.

Namaste.

 

Beyond Illusion – A Prayer for True Sight

Dear God and Guiding Spirits
Angels of Light and Love,
Help me perceive the world
Through the Eyes of the Soul

Help me understand that my vision of “reality”
is limiting my growth, my clarity,
My ability to create transformation.

Release me of my limiting perceptions
So I may travel to the realms
Where Light and Colour
Make spiritual expansion possible.

Teach me to discern through inner knowing
That I may bear witness
To Your Radiance, Protection,
Holy Light and Power.

Open my heart with dragonfly medicine
So I may see below the surface –
Beyond the illusion
Of what I accept as reality.

May your Winged Ones,
Come from the world of nature spirits
And bring their magic
Into my everyday experience.
I welcome their messages
From the elemental world.

Ease me into my deepest truth
So I may decide for myself, with You
What everything means.

Help me shift my perception inward
So I may let go of  hindering judgments.

Help me evaluate
Both my intentions and attention
So I may focus on the heaven
that is here and now.

Guide me beyond
The veil of illusion
As I go within to commune directly with You.

I feel You resting there, Peace.

Make room.

I’m coming in to lie beside you.

So be it.

“Beyond Illusion”
24″ x 48″

Q & A Video: What Kinds of Paint Do You Use?

/in

I’m a huge fan of Golden Artist Colours – a professional grade acrylic paint company from the States. Yes, it’s expensive, but you get what you pay for. I know because I’ve tried many other kinds in my time.

What many don’t know is that acrylic paint comes in 3 viscosities, or thicknesses.  Most people are familiar with “heavy body” paint. It’s thick like toothpaste.  I was never a big fan of these.

I prefer both “fluid ” (flows like a heavy cream) and high flow (flows like water). These act more like the acrylic inks I started playing with in the late 80s when I finally found my artistic medium of choice.

The beauty with professional acrylic paints is that there are no fillers or extenders. There’s the same saturation of pigments in all 3 thicknesses. No dilution. That’s why there’s no comparison to dollar store paints that don’t use the same quality of pigments and are full of chalk and other fillers.

 

Golden Artist Colours also has a whole line of gels, mediums, and varnishes to play with.

When I lived in Saskatchewan, I splurged by buying small containers of every gel and medium they had on offer. Then I just played in the studio until I found the ones that connected me to creative freedom and joy.

Art is part science. It’s good to know how materials work to get the most out of them and to make sure your paintings last.

But art is also about embracing the mystery. It’s about learning and playing with Spirit through the creative process.

There are no mistakes. There’s only learning and layering until one day you say: This one’s done. Next!

Keep playing until you find what speaks to you.

I almost failed art in high school, but that’s just because I hadn’t found my medium.

Thank God (literally) I didn’t give up!

P.S. They invited me back for a solo exhibition a few years later 🙂
